To put this in context first: I normally DS at a hill much smaller then a place like Parker or Vincent...The pattern is fairly tight, and speeds of 150mph are considered fast, even for moldies (the hill record is 169mph).
Anyway, a number of my friends have Blutos, JW's, Moths, etc. The JW's just don't seem to work very well in the prevailing conditions. I guess you could say they never really get "on step," even in conditions where something like a Moth is grovin' pretty good. I'm just saying it depends on where you fly. Parker, Vincent, and Blanco are all world class spots, AFAIK.
